Basically, our story is set in Britain in the early 1800's. It starts with Michael Way (age 10), leaving boarding school with his brother, Gerard (age 13) to spend the summer at their uncles. Meanwhile, Britain is preparing for war against France, which is why the Way brothers are sent to their uncle's as their father is a general for the Kings army.
Mikey is an extremely intelligent and inquisitive individual, so when a dead body of an army officer is discovered in the woods near the mansion with mysterious welts and stings on it's skin, it is up to Mikey, Gerard, a street orphan called Frank Iero and Alicia Watts, a ginger-haired girl from America to embark on a perilous adventure, that will uncover a plot so mind-blowingly clever that it could change the future of the 19th century as we know it...
